ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A man has been charged with murder for the fatal shooting of a 24-year-old Twin Cities woman, reports CBS Minnesota.

Alvin Bell, 24, is suspected in the death of Sarah Wierstad, court documents filed in Ramsey County show.

The station reports that officials said Wierstad, a single mother, was shot on Oct. 18 at around 8 p.m. near her home, and died from a gunshot wound to the heart, according to an autopsy report.

According to a criminal complaint, witnesses told authorities that multiple gunshots were heard in the street and two vehicles sped off from the area immediately afterward.

When checking on Wierstad's young daughter shortly after the gunfire, police noticed purses and shoe boxes that appeared to be out of place in Wierstad's otherwise tidy apartment.

Investigators found a cut in the window screen near Wierstad's kitchen and took fingerprints from her window that matched Bell's. They also saw two vehicles captured on surveillance video leaving the intersection after the shooting, according to the station.

Those cars -- a Chrevolet Suburban and a Toyota 4Runner - went to Minneapolis gas station about a half hour later and surveillance video shows Bell trying to pay for gas with Wierstad's credit card.

Police arrested Bell, along with a woman named Michelle Koester, two days later.

While Koester she said she saw Bell in the street that night, she denied seeing Bell with a gun, according to the complaint.

Koester has not been charged.
